Luis E. "Louie" Rodriguez Cuevas

Luis served our country as a United States Marine of the Korean Conflict.

The Cuevas Impact Corporation was formed by Luis R. Cuevas to satisfy a desire created by the times-to be highest quality art available to anyone who has the eye to see it-the inner eye, which tells you a piece is speaking to you, and that what it is saying is something fine.

The atelier is characterized by a solute devotion to the requirements of faithfulness to the artist's vision and the philosophy that fine art should not be out of the reach of anyone. The Cuevas Impact line is a complete range, from the signed and numbered limited edition collector's pieces to ready-to-hang prints affordable by everyone.

As an artist, Mr. Cuevas' works are his obvious credentials. The plates illustrated in his brochure present a gifted man whose works are representative of the balanced dichotomy of life; fantasy is countered by reality, provocative abstract images by extraordinarily realistic elements, design by color, simplicity by complexity. Each component seems to have its equal but opposite, creating visual satisfaction.

Mr. Cuevas' formal credentials begin with his training at the California School of Fine Arts, and the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles.

His work had been exhibited in galleries, private corporate headquarters, and museums throughout this country and abroad. HIs list of awards is an impressive one and his work has been purchased for many prominent private and public collections.

As a craftsman, Mr. Cuevas had an interest in the mechanics-what makes it work? To him, the next question is a logical extension-what will make it work better? This questioning leads the Cuevas Impact in its relentless search for the highest possible quality, the determination to reach the ultimate in each medium.

Luis is survived by his beloved Alice, 5 children, 10 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, 5 brothers, a sister and many nieces and nephews.
